A produção acadêmica jurídica brasileira sobre ecofeminismo: uma revisão sistemática

Abstract

The present work aimed to characterize Brazilian legal academic research on ecofeminism. The goal was to understand how studies elaborated by researchers in the field of law have approached this theme in order to identify gaps in legal research that may be filled by future researchers. As a methodological procedure, a systematic literature review was adopted, which sought to exhaust the academic production correlating law and ecofeminism. To do so, the selection of works was carried out through search strings in the following scientific repositories: SciELO, Periódicos CAPES, and the Biblioteca Digital Brasileira de Teses e Dissertações. After reading the selected research in full, a survey of themes, objectives, methodologies, and main results was conducted. It was found that Brazilian legal academic production understands ecofeminism as a movement, philosophy, and epistemology that criticizes the social subordination of women and nature by men in the context of the development of the patriarchal capitalist production system. It is concluded that ecofeminist theory is suitable for the Brazilian case, as it deals with dynamics that particularly affect countries of the global South, being an important tool for understanding and addressing social, environmental, and gender legal issues. Finally, it was verified that Brazilian legal academic production on ecofeminism is still incipient, leaving room for future investigations.
